Subway employees, St. Petersburg
Soon there will be photo exhibition full of official subway peeps' shots. A couple of photographers worked for 6 months taking pictures of underground workers.
Just look at them:

Moscow then and now, the Guardian

"Moscow is not equal to Russia"
These are exact words I say so many times a year.
Being born and raised in Moscow, I thought this is the center of the world. At least the center of Russia. Thus, Moscow should be the essence of everything Russia has. Small copy.
But it's wrong. I've learnt it by traveling, by living in St. Pete for 8 years now (which is not Russia, either). You cannot judge my country by its capital at all.
So I suggest you take a look at three photo projects (thanks to tut design for the links). Pictures were taken in small towns. This is more like Russia.
1. After Penza-19 by Ksenia Yurkova
2. Russian Interior by Anastasia Tsayder
3. Village life by Olga Ivanova
These projects show vulnerable, real, unretouched Russia. Up to goosebumps. Welcome.

Photo project Humans of St. Petersburg, Russia
I have one good piece of news to share with you.
You have to like it on Facebook, okay?
I've created a project similar to HONY (Hunams of New York). But instead of posting what people think, we translate it first. So you can read their minds in English. Pretty convenient, right?
The page is here: https://www.facebook.com/speakingaboutspb.
I have some contributors but I do shoot and talk myself a bit, too. This is amazing experience to get to ask people why do they love the city I live in.

Weekend walk
If there is a street designed for staring, it is Nevsky avenue.
Everyone is already here: stylish peple, weird people, rich people, teenagers, tourists, average citizens. And everyone stare at each other. Perfect for one tiny street photographer.
And then, when you're tired of wind, you can choose whichever direction.
